This risk assessment form summarizes the hazards and control measures for a promotional video shoot at Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens from December 9th to April 1st. Key hazards identified include trip hazards, drowning, slippery surfaces, falls from height, infection, allergic reactions, and contact with cold liquids. Control measures to minimize risks include identifying trip hazards, staying clear of the pond, looking out for wet floor signs, installing barriers, wearing masks and sanitizing hands, taking antihistamines, and avoiding the pond area while carrying equipment. The producer, Sophie Gibson, is the only person exposed to the identified hazards.

Risk matrix – use this to determine risk for
each hazard i.e. ‘how bad and how likely’ Likelihood of Harm
Severity of Harm
Remote
e.g. <1 in 1000 chance
Very unlikely
e.g. 1 in 200 chance
Unlikely
e.g. 1 in 50 chance
Possible
e.g. 1 in 10 chance
Likely
e.g. >1 in 3 chance
Negligible e.g. small bruise Trivial Trivial Trivial Low Low
Slight e.g. small cut, deep bruise Trivial Trivial Low Low Medium
Moderate e.g. deep cut, torn muscle Trivial Low Medium Medium High
Severe e.g. fracture, loss of consciousness Low Medium High High Extremely high
Very Severe e.g. death, permanent disability Low Medium High Extremely high Extremely high

once all your controls
are in place
Trip Hazard Producer (me)
Low
Identify any hazards that could cause trips such as loose wires or staircases and take
precautions to avoid or take more care around them. Not likely to cause any serious injury. Low
Drowning “
Trivial
Stay clear of the Museums fish pond especially since it doesn’t have a barricade and I’m
carrying equipment.
Trivial
Slippery Surface “
Low
Look out for wet floor signs and avoid the pond area. Trivial
Falls from height “
Low
Take care when on the upper level of the winter garden. Barrier is there to stop falls from the
height. Don’t balance equipment on or next to the edge.
Low
Infection “
Medium
Wear a mask and sanitise hands before and after the shoot to prevent spread of Covid 19.
Double vaccination also helps.
Low
Allergic Reaction “
Trivial
Take anti-histamine before the shoot, as I will be in an enclosed area with plants/grass. Trivial
Contact with cold liquid Camera
Trivial
Avoid pond area when carrying equipment. Trivial
